As a close neighbor, Japan has many similarities with us in eating habits. It likes to eat tofu and bean products. The staple food is mainly rice, supplemented by pasta and miscellaneous grains, and the vegetables and fruits are diverse.

However, it also has its own characteristics. The diet structure has been partially westernized, especially among the younger generation, the intake of animal food is higher than that of China.

As an island country, Japan is rich in marine resources. Therefore, in the Japanese diet, there are many marine fish, shrimp and shellfish, which are very fresh and clean, and the Japanese often eat them raw.

In meat food, considering the fat content and flavor of animals, beef is the first choice when buying, and the price is more expensive. Pork is the second, and the price is in the middle. Chicken is the cheapest, and mutton is not common in supermarkets.

The Japanese diet has several advantages for our reference:

A large intake of milk ensures the nutritional demand of calcium for human body. Nowadays, the height of junior high school students in Japan has increased significantly, which is not unrelated to this.

Whether you eat in a restaurant or at home, you always keep the habit of eating separately. Everyone's meal includes all kinds of food to make the nutrition balanced. At the same time, you can clearly know how much you have eaten at each meal, which is convenient for controlling excessive calorie intake and avoiding obesity from damaging your health.

As the food processing industry and catering industry are developed, families and individuals spend less time cooking, which is conducive to putting more energy into work and study.

Although Japan has a developed economy and a high standard of living, it is very frugal in diet and rarely sees leftovers.
